I'm a descendant of John Horn and Emma Brigginshaw of Ivinghoe Aston, through their son Thomas, b.1855.

I'd be interested to see what information you have on the line going further back, as I have a problem with John's parents; I know John's father was Thomas Horn, but opinions differ among other people I've contacted on the GenesRU and Ancestry sites as to whether it was Thomas Horn b.1789 married to Elizabeth Windmill, or Thomas Horn b.1791 married to Ann Cooper, and I can't find direct evidence for either.

The Horns certainly were a big part of Ivinghoe Aston - in the 1841 census, out of about 450 inhabitants of the village area, there were 19 Horn families!

Which line do you come down from?

HelloI hope you don't mind me contacting you, as I know this post was from quite a few years ago now.

I am also a (very very distant) descendant of John Horn & Emma Brigginshaw. Through their son Christopher Horn. I am quite new to this so I haven't researched this line of my family for very long, I have some information but I nothing on Thomas (born 1855). Would you have any information I could have a look at. I am registered on Ancestry.com so you are most welcome to look at the tree I have collated so far

Hi there,I am also related to Thomas Horn and Ann Cooper through David Horn 1827-1892 their youngest son. He married Susan Turner 1828-1908 on 26 May 1850 and he and his family emigrated to Australia 3 May 1874 on the 'Glamorganshire'. They settled in the Maryborough, Queensland area.Cheers Teresa
